Synopsis

A former star athlete sidelined by an old career-ending injury must emerge from his despair to care for the disabled teenage daughter he has long ignored.
Moviegoers are saying
This Hong Kong family drama about a washed-up athlete reconnecting with his disabled daughter has audiences reaching for tissues, but critics are calling it manipulative melodrama. While Aaron Kwok and breakout star Natalie Hsu deliver committed performances, viewers are frustrated by the film's heavy-handed emotional manipulation and formulaic 'redemption through suffering' approach.
